Option 3 : Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner
The correct answer is Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner.
- Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner is a German chemist.
- He is well-known for his discovery of furfural.
- Dobereiner's triads
- He arranged certain elements with similar properties in a group of three.
- The atomic mass of the middle element was nearly the same as the average atomic mass of the first and third elements.
- These sets of elements were known as Dobereiner's triads.
- Dmitri Mendeleev
- He was a Russian chemist and inventor.
- He is best known for formulating the modern-day periodic law and the periodic table of elements.
- He also predicted the properties of three elements that were to be discovered.
- He is referred to as the 'Father of the Periodic table'.
- Hans Christian Oersted
- He was a Danish physicist and chemist.
- He discovered that electric currents are creating magnetic fields.
- He found the first connection between electricity and magnetism.
- Michael Faraday
- He was an English scientist.
- He majorly contributed to the study of electromagnetism and electrochemistry.
- His discovered the principles of electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism and electrolysis.

Option 3 : Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner
Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner made his first observation as a catalyst on Platinum and discovered similar triads of elements which led to the creation of the Periodic Table of Elements.
- He was a German chemist best known for his work, which foreshadowed the periodic rule for chemical elements, and for inventing the Döbereiner's first lighter.
- Döbereiner is also known for his discovery of the furfural, for his work on using platinum as a catalyst.
- Dmitri Mendeleev produces a farsighted interpretation of the periodic element table.
- Hans Christian Oersted discovered that electric currents produce magnetic fields, which was the first relation between magnetism and electricity.
- Michael Faraday contributed to the study of electromagnetism and electrochemistry.
